Thanks for all your help.

It is definately talktalk that is the problem - is there any way round it or do I have to look for a new provider?

It is just the wall that appears for 10 seconds and then it disappears leaving the world icon.

It states received incoming this session - true (it has let me download 1 x song this evening)

All other laptops have the same problems

I'm not sure how to remove old java and what java I should replace it with.

My version of linksys is WAG54GS
